1656 Church History Thomas Fuller Cambridge KNIGHTS Monks MAPS Heraldry Bible Thomas Fuller was a 17th-century English historian who particularly notable for his historical accounts of English worthies and the Church of England. In 1655, Fuller wrote his best work, ‘Church History of Britain’. This chronological account covers the history of the church from the birth of Jesus through 1648 and was immensely popular throughout England and the English-speaking world. This work, however, was not beloved by everyone. One of its greatest critics was Peter Heylin who vehemently attacked ‘Church History’. This book includes various sections on church history including a ‘History of Waltham-Abbey in Essex’ and a ‘History of the University of Cambridge’. This 1656 edition includes all of the expected sections and parts as well as the double-page engravings such as the map of Cambridge and the arms of the Knights and Monks of William the Conqueror.
